2,000 Dead: A Heavy Toll

Whether you’re for or against the mission in Iraq, there’s nothing to celebrate about 2,000 dead - I join Ryan James in honoring their sacrifice and I share his disgust at those who would politicize a milestone composed of the headstones of dead Americans…let’s hope the number doesn’t continue to grow. Thank you for your service, ladies and gentlemen…I hope it ends up being worth it in the end…I believe it will be, but that’s small comfort for the families of the deceased.

It is a time to honor our heroic dead - and to recommit to the cause for which they fell.

As President Bush said today “We didn’t ask for this war.” I say, like our grandparents in the so-called “greatest generation,” let’s rise to this challenge…and let’s finish it. If not for ourselves, then for our kids. And for those who have fallen.

YES, some mistakes were made - in war there are ALWAYS tragic mistakes and unforseen turns and twists. But ours is a righteous and noble cause - and in less than three years, mountains have been moved and 50 million have been liberated.
